On the outskirts of Tweespruit, a man and his loyal dog tend to a herd of cows grazing contentedly along the lush banks of the Lesotho mainline. The serene countryside scene is alive with the gentle lowing of the cows and the rhythmic rustling of the grass.
Suddenly, the tranquillity is momentarily broken as a lone Class 34 locomotive, returning from Maseru, whizzes by with a thunderous roar, its presence a stark contrast to the peaceful pastoral setting.
